    1. @ddayen has a useful reminder of how Amazon, the beneficiary of all sorts of government largess, deserves no sympathyhttps://newrepublic.com/article/147740/no-sympathy-amazon …

        2. What I'd add is that while Amazon needs to be reined in, Trump is the wrong man to do it & is doing it in the worst possible way.

        3. Corporate leviathans like Amazon need to be subdued to the rule of law, by introducing new regulations or using anti-trust laws, not made subordinate to one leaders personal whims.

        I have no sympathy for Amazon but this moron is hurting our retirement funds with his rants. And the fact that he's attacking someone who owns a publication which routinely outs his crimes is troubling behavior from someone who is supposed to be our leader.

        Amazon went up yesterday. You want to blame him for hurting retirement funds, look at the China tariffs.

        this article makes a lot of sense if you replace “Amazon” with “online retail” in almost every spot.

        You know what? Amazon has been aided by policy and Wall Street for 20 years. I’m not joining in w fascistic personal gripe right now. Thanks.

        Trump is not suggesting anything that would damage Amazon in any material way, and the actions he's actually taken will immeasurably benefit the company. You're falling for meaningless bluster.
